Although I live near Fairytale Brownies headquarters and my alma matre of Arizona State University in Tempe, Ariz., I spend my summers in Seattle. Believe it or not, it’s rather hot back home at this time of year.

Late last month, I was invited to a Sun Devil Send-Off event in Seattle. The event offered recent Seattle area high school graduates the chance to ask local alumni like me about their college experience and make friends with other incoming students before heading south to Arizona.

The Seattle event was one of more than three dozen send-offs from New York City to Shanghai, China.

What a great idea. Right?

After all, college is hard enough on new students. Living away from home. Cooking and cleaning for yourself. Maybe even studying from time to time.

A single well-timed fudgy chocolate brownie can provide a much-needed boost during a late-night study session. And dishing out 36 bite-size Magic Morsels is a great way to break the ice with new friends in the dorms.

Make the transition to college easier. Send a student care package of fudgy chocolate brownies to the college student in your life.
